     Place the text on the scanner and press the Start button. Within half a minute, the text is being read aloud in a high-quality voice. What could be simpler? Browsing through text, storing and retrieving files and customizing reading parameters are all menu-controlled in a comprehensible user interface designed for simplicity and learning ease.
     The Galileo excels in recognition of a wide range of texts, with special strengths in processing mixed fonts, draft quality print and skewed copies. The user's ability to customise scanner settings for particular reading tasks broadens even further the scope of readable documents.
     Each language installation in the Galileo brings with it the best available synthetic speech for that language, to provide intelligibility and ease of listening to the user.
     Galileo's unique add-on language feature allows the user to treat a single document in a variety of languages, without re-scanning. The Galileo can accept the installation of additional languages at any time after purchase. Languages available for the Galileo currently include English, French and Spanish.
     The comprehensive File Management System makes storage and retrieval of documents simple, particularly for users without computer expertise. The Galileo in-built file management facility simplifies data transfer in a variety of ways, including serial transfer of files to a PC, and the in-built floppy disk drive.
     All the features in the Galileo are included in a readily accessible, easy-to-use menu arrangement. No prior computer experience is necessary. Galileo is designed as a simple-to-use consumer item. With Galileo, reading is simple and relaxed.
     Galileo can read a vast range of printed documents, including letters, magazines, books and newspapers. The large glass area and double-hinged cover make it possible to read large and thick documents or books.
     The in-built hard disk makes it possible for the user to store scanned text for later reading, as well as untranslated images. The in-built floppy drive makes it possible to import text from other sources and then read at the user's leisure.
     The Galileo Reading System brings true independence to a vision-impaired person's life. The headphone connection lets the user read private documents the way they are supposed to be read in the first place - privately.
      Galileo's intuitive keypad gives its user access to uncomplicated reading - all that the user needs to do is press the Start button and Galileo does the rest automatically. Text browsing is simple and logical, and the settings are easily adjustable to suit.
